Threat for strong storms increases later this week; Tornadoes 'possible'

ATLANTA — Severe Weather Team 2 is tracking strong to severe storms later this week in metro Atlanta.

"Tornadoes are possible with this system," Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brad Nitz said.

A strong cold front will move through north Georgia on Thursday with widespread rain and the chance for strong to severe storms.

We'll have the latest on the timing of this system, Tonight on The Channel 2 Action News Nightbeat at 11.

Severe Weather Team 2 said there will be strong wind shear and even a little bit of instability that could lead to possible severe storms.

According to Nitz, the timing and threats are “somewhat uncertain.” The main impact will be strong wind gusts, but a brief spin up tornado within the line can’t be ruled out.
